Blending color, language, and creativity, "Flourish & Define" is a floral-themed book carving by Gretchen Wessel, made from a vintage dictionary page. Lovingly hand-cut and layered with watercolor accents in yellow, violet, blue, and green, this piece transforms printed definitions into a blooming composition of whimsy and botanical beauty.
The intricate scrollwork and blossoms seem to grow right from the text—evoking themes of growth, learning, and the beauty of language. The artwork is mounted with a white mat and soft gray woodgrain frame, ready to gift or hang.
One of a kind. Hand-carved, hand-painted, and framed.
